SCHOOL OF DISOBEDIENCE
a few words
"I find the current art scene fundamentally boring, self-sufficient and exclusionary, and it's not at all surprising that only such a closed circle is interested in it. Contemporary art whose works can only be received by the viewer through mediation, for example through descriptive texts, guided tours or art education sessions, is not for the general public, but for a privileged segment of society. What is missing is a radical reform of contemporary art, a more sincere, more generous, and more interesting contemporary art that is open to a wider public, rather than initiatives that seek to promote it and make it more accessible. My conviction is that this reform can only happen through the reinvention of art education. The “School of Disobedience” is an attempt to do this.
In my “School of Disobedience” I encourage participants to stop wanting to prove themselves to the art world, stop wanting to be validated with an institution, stop using terminologies and theoretical references just because it is "required". Stop being manipulated by the market, stop creating for open calls, stop "adapting" their concepts, stop responding to trends. In my “School of Disobedience” I encourage participants to resist, unlearn, and revolt! Dare to be themselves: defy self-doubt, fearlessly follow their own path, and be confidently themselves!”

about
Born in Budapest (Hungary), in 1983, and graduated from the ENSAPC Art School in 2016 (France), I am working with art as a means of connection and with education as a means of activism. I am making full evening pieces and short-format performances, holding multi-sensorial political soft-spaces, creating immersive choreographic experiences, and building rebellious communities. In the past 10 years, I dreamed up the School of Disobedience, founded an artist collective then my own performance art company (Gray Box), launched an annual festival (Wildflowers Festival), exhibited in a toilet, performed in a boxing ring, curated in an elevator, gave lectures in a techno club, run classes in a hammam... I like everything that is unusual, unexpected, and nonconformist. I am not kind with assholes and learned how to follow my own path. I will teach you how to think outside the box so as to be independent. I think the party is outside the canon.

I am honest.
I know how to listen to someone.
I care.
Adding anything else would be bullshit.
